Sermon for the Christian Funeral of Frank "Butch" Bruntjen

So when Simeon sees this little baby, it’s not just that he’s cute. Simeon takes the child in his arms and blesses God and sings this song “Lord now you are letting your servant depart in peace…my own eyes have seen you salvation.” Simeon is saying “I can depart, I can die, because I have seen Jesus. I have seen the one who is going to save us all. I’m done, there is nothing more I need.” That is what Frank is confessing today at this funeral.
